Patrick Dempsey's first wife accused the "Grey's Anatomy" star of beating her, according to court papers obtained by the National Enquirer. Rochelle "Rocky" Parker claimed that Dempsey once broke her finger in a car door and further charged that "while we were on the set of his 1987 movie 'Can't Buy Me Love' he beat me up because he wanted to see what it was like to beat a woman." Dempsey and Parker married in 1987, when he was 21 and she was 47. She filed for divorce in 1991, citing "irreconcilable differences," reportedly after he told her that he had met another woman. I know I should be shocked and appalled that Dempsey beat his wife but I can't get over the fact that he married a 47-year-old woman when he was 21. When I was 21, I was still giving my friends wedgies and burning ants with my magnifying glass. Yes smart-ass, I hit puberty kind of late.
